The last time I used Google Maps for navigation (several years ago), it had me get off a highway, and then get back on it in some strange U-turn situation... I was a guest speaker at an event, but fortunately gave myself plenty of time to get to my destination, as it wasn't a place I've been to before.
I couldn't believe it had me do all that when "continue going straight" would have been the only real option!
So, yeah. It doesn't surprise me that it also gave you and others the runaround. I'm surprised they haven't fixed this problem in all these years. I bet they improved the ad delivery, though.
Had you accidentally turned on 'avoid highways' by chance? Because the one time that happened to me it was.
Maybe it's a non-US thing, but here in Sweden GMaps will desperately force you onto roads that it has decided are highways or some other kind of "fast" roads I guess and it makes no sense.
Nope. Absolutely not, since highways were 90% of that trip. It did this like halfway through, for no reason that I could think of. No traffic. No accidents up a head. It quite literally had me get off the highway, and reenter at the same interchange!
The only options I would have enabled would have been "avoid tolls" and "avoid ferries". Neither of which applied for this
It may have thought you were taking the off ramp (GPS wobble) and rerouted on the fly.
Google maps has burned me so often, I now have a pre trip checklist for new routes. Check traffic along the entire route, the approximate on-ramp/exit #s I’ll take, and a quick look at streets around the destination.
They’ve enshittified the service so much I am just learning “normal” navigation now??? FFS.
